Registrations are trickling in, but we are no where near capacity so please register and invite your friends!

Sept 13/14 the beautiful Magnolia Farms Equestrian Center in Concord, GA is hosting a full weekend of classes.

Sept 13 is Standard, Sept 14 is advanced.
What you will learn:
*How to handle the most common equine emergencies
*Early signs of illness or injury, and when to call the vet
*Bandaging techniques for legs, wounds, and more
*How to safely assist your horse in situations like choking, colic, or injury on the trail
*Prevention tips to keep your horse healthy year-round
*Advanced classes cover deeper subjects and situations where your horse will die without triage

Cost: $169 for Standard | $320 for Standard and Advanced. (Standard class is required to take the advanced. We don't revisit material)
Fees include all materials, meals, comprehensive manual (worth $50 alone), and your certificate of completion. Remember once you take the class, you are able to lean on me for support in emergency or health related questions, AND you are able to sit back through the classes for an extremely reduced price for a year.

This is hands on training with live horses; you will walk away with the skills, confidence, and resources to handle emergencies until help arrives.

Don't wait to register, opportunity closes August 30.

Just wanted to share a quick hoof abscess treatment I just read about in one of my forums. I'd never heard about this one, so I know I'm not alone!
She said this method was passed down to her from a brilliant Italian vet, is foolproof, and has worked for her in under 5 hours on numerous occasions.
>>Soak linseed (FLAXSEED) in hot water until it swells.
>>Let it cool slightly
>>Pack it around and under the hoof
>>Wrap it with a diaper and add your hoof boot, homemade or purchased.
Within hours, there was immediate relief without extra trauma and the flax seed is actually cheaper than drawing salve or animalintex.
So who had "flax seed in your first aid kit" on your bingo card?
Definitely not me!

Colic isn't "just a colic"

Rarely does colic present the same from one horse to another. And, just because you're looking at what appears to be a light colic, doesn't mean it's not serious.

A horse that just appears to have a light colic can also be one that is dealing with gas, ulcers, or even a gut twist.

Your timing and ability to adequately read the situation will make the difference.
Knowing how to take vitals will make things even easier for you and your vet to make an informed decision.

Let's have a discussion below:

!!Bleeding 101!!

Most of you know the obvious differences between a nosebleed and a hemmorage by now. But do you know the difference in treatment?

Knowing 1) where the blood is coming from and 2) how fast the blood is coming is the first step in doing the right thing.

Quick tip: always check mucous membranes and capillary refill time. Take a peek at their gums, note the color, press finger on them and wait for the blood to refill the spot where you finger was returned. If the gums are a healthy bubble gum pink and the capillary refill time is 2.5 seconds or less it's not a hemorrhage.

I know I've been a bit absent from my posting unless it's all about the upcoming classes, and I'm going to get back to that in just a post or two. In the meantime...

I had an interesting phone call today in which I was asked about the other companies that offer an online course. I'm always open minded and welcome these discussions. While talking to her, I jotted down my thoughts in order to share them with you.

The online courses are priced anywhere from $29.99 to $100. Knowing what to do in a real emergency is priceless. But how do you know what you're getting for your money?

There is a BIG difference between watching a video and actually learning how to save your horse's life.

Those cheap online courses might give you a well written manual, a quiz, and a lot of good information.
Here's what they are NOT giving you:
*hands on practice with horses in real time
*confidence in emergency situations
*a certified instructor answering your questions in real time, face to face where the confusion can be eliminated
*muscle memory from doing, not just watching
*a support system of fellow horse owners and ongoing resources

Equi-First Aid USA isn't just another course. It's a reputable, proven, and trusted leader in equine emergency education.

We've been setting the standard for over 15 years with internationally recognized curriculum, certified instructors, and thousands of confident students across North America.

Yes, we do offer online classes to support flexible learning, BUT your certifcation isn't complete until you attend a 4 hour in person hands on session with a certified instructor. Why? Because watching and doing are not the same thing. When your horse's life is on the line, you will definitly prefer the hands on education because you will not doubt what you need to do. And if you're not sure, you can call your instructor to guide you.

We're not new. We're not trendy. We're trusted. By horse owners. By professionals. And by first responders.

From managing colic and bleeds to wrapping wounds and checking vitals, you will leave our classes prepared, not panicked.

Would you trust an internet quiz to train your farrier or other professional? Don't trust one for your horse's life.

Find a class near you and train with the best. Your horse deserves that.

I have some local classes coming up and some being rescheduled. If you're not local to me, I can send you to another certified instructor.

Regretfully, the Pine Mountain Weekend Class has been cancelled.

I'm working with the host site and with Dr Rachel to reschedule.

In the mean time we do have some classes scheduled for Sept and October.

I'll list them here tonight.
